The Moment I Felt "Free"

     The time where I actually felt free was during the second show of the 2012 Sankofa production. It was at the end of the show and it was now my classes turn to do one of the last performances that would close the show. I started off the piece which starts off very calm slow and as the piece progressed and the beat intensified a different feeling came over me. A feeling that I had never came across until that moment. for the first time I felt like I really became one with my heart. I felt very assertive in the sense that I knew and I could feel that this is what my heart loved to do and so of course I loved to do it. I was so aware of myself but i was more aware of how those around me received me and how others vibed off of my energy and vice versa. Ultimately during this piece I felt as though  I knew what my heart consisted of and in response to that I was able to show that to everyone who saw me that night.
